The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dissolved the State, Local Government and Ward Executive Committees in Imo and Ogun states, over allegation of anti-party activities. The National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Lanre Issa-Onilu, confirmed the development on Wednesday in Abuja during a chat with newsmen.

He explained that the move became imperative since both Governors had expressed support for candidates in other political parties. He said the leadership of the party views their actions as anti-party and could no longer entrust the structure of the party in their hands.


"The two governors and the state executives have publicly expressed the fact that they will support (their) candidates in other parties, in their respective states.


“So those executives, right from the state to the ward level are not people we can trust to work honestly, for the success of our party in the next election.”


“It is within our powers to ensure that we protect the interest of the party and also to activate relevant sections of our constitution which prohibit members from carrying out activities that are inimical to the interest of the party,” he said.


Meanwhile, the National Working Committee of the party has hinted that a caretaker committee would be inaugurated to take charge of party affairs in the two states ahead of the general elections.
